Hermanos!

Pablo (16), Helena (18), and Santiago (5) are siblings whose parents Paul (English) and Alejandra (Mexican) are very good friends of ours who we first met in Barcelona 21 years ago and who moved fifteen years ago to A.'s home country. We last saw them in Acapulco in 2004 when H. did her party piece at the age of eight of counting to ten in Spanish with an English accent, and counting to ten in English with a Mexican accent! Pablo, then aged six, picked upon the difference between my Scottish pronunciation of 'breakfast' compared to his father's Home Counties' pronunciation!

I was lovely to meet them all and catch up on all our latest news, and we even risked a walk down the Ramblas after last night's theft, but I left my new mini iPad at home to download over 3,000 photos from the cloud and to keep it out of harm's way!
